Summary
Douglass achieved international celebrity in his lifetime; thus his bicentennial was celebrated internationally. Still, despite his iconic status, Douglass's bicentennial remained more of a lowkey and highly decentralized affair due to complex converging historical forces. Nonetheless, the communities that celebrated Douglass in 2017–19 continue to plan for additional and more enduring commemorations in the years and decades to come.
